Sumita, our work is fairly related but I recommend you start from this link:

In India, Indian Railways are making good efforts in using Bio-Diesel mixed with normal diesel to run locomotives.
I have a technology that oxygenates diesel fuel with methanol or ethanol with and without water. No other chemicals are required. Diesel engines operate with significant emissions reductions and lower net fuel costs. Our approach is less expensive and cleaner than traditional biodiesel.
I am working on green "marine" diesel engine performance. Can I help you?
Juan Moreno-Gutierrez - do you see the benefit of using methanol with Marine engines? Are you working in this area of fuel composites. We are creating endoergic fuel composites which are having amazing results with engines and boilers.
Juan Moreno-Gutierrez Sir, is there any process to reduce oxygen in biodiesel up to a certain limit?
Dear Jeff Engel,
I know that a significant step in the adoption of natural gas as a fuel has been the Dual Fuel Diesel-Electric systems on LNG carriers. The principal constituent of LNG is CH4 which, when used as a fuel, reduces CO2 emissions by around 25%. Additionally, the lesser amount of nitrogen in the combustion process, due to the compression ratios and combustion temperatures for CH4, reduces NOX production by around 85%.Furthermore, since sulphur is absent from the fuel, no SOX emissions are produced
Dear Sumita, I know that A further alternative fuel for compressionignition engines is di-methyl ether (DME). DME has a high cetane number which may lead to a better
mixing with air in the engine cylinder while its high oxygen content can achieve smokeless combustion through the low formation and oxidisation rates of particulates.
The manuscript from Arcoumanis could be very interesting for your question.
